Week Sixty-Nine of REAL...


Reminders: REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:http://navyseal.s5.com/requirements.html

RIght up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. So my SEAL puppy reps consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each. I've worked up to 33 and working at slowing it down.


For a while, I'm going to try and keep track of my weight only when it goes down. It's too easy to start from the new higher weight.

The 12th:  SEAL puppy rep. One-mile walk. SEAL puppy rep. Rained last night. There was lightning to the north when I was out walking this morning. I only knew because it lit up the clouds.

The 13th: Two-mile walk with my sister. A great thing.

The 14th: Not sleeping well. Too warm at night. It's nice to have the temperatures dropping, but the A/C doesn't turn on as often, so I'm roasting, which means no sleeping.

The 15th: SEAL puppy. One-mile walk. SEAL puppy. Knee twinges. Hate when that happens.

The 16th: Made it through the day. That's good.

The 17th: SEAL puppy rep. One-mile walk. Hormones kicked in and the rest of the day falls apart.

The 18th: Sigh... weight isn't changing...
